ABOUT US... 

The NewarkSuccess site is a collaboration by the members of the Prisoners Self Help Legal Clinic and the Prisoners and Their Families Project. The site is now a project of the New Jersey Association on Correction,  created with financial support by the Fund for New Jersey.  We welcome volunteers to help us keep the information up-to-date.

The Prisoners Self Help Legal Clinic   The PSHLC is a cooperative, mostly volunteer, project of former prisoner paralegals, pro bono attorneys and law students and civil rights advocates who assist prisoners with pro se litigation (lawsuits in which they represent themselves) and share information about the law and its limits.  The PSHLC celebrated its tenth anniversary  in September 2002. The work on NJSuccess, although it is a new direction for us, is based on our commitment to self-sufficiency and peer support among those who have been prisoners. Contact us at admin@pshlc.org.

The Prisoners and Their Families Project   The Prisoners and their Families Project is designed to develop a coordinated, collaborative approach to services for prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families in the Newark, New Jersey area. The project is shared by the Department of Social Work at Rutgers University - Newark and the Department of Sociology at Bloomfield College.  Contact us at NewarkSuccess@pshlc.org

Web/Database Design  This site was designed and built by IBT Corp The design is optimized for remote management via the web by the project members and flexibility as the needs of its users change over time.
